I want to spend my life
00:00:02.00\00:00:07.77
Mending broken people
00:00:07.80\00:00:12.81
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.84\00:00:18.98
Removing pain
00:00:19.01\00:00:23.92
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.95\00:00:28.92
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.26\00:00:34.70
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.73\00:00:40.47
Mending broken people
00:00:40.50\00:00:46.07
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.11\00:00:51.61
Mending broken people
00:00:51.65\00:00:55.38
Hello and welcome.
00:01:08.23\00:01:09.56
Happy Sabbath, everybody.
00:01:09.60\00:01:11.03
Welcome to 3ABN.
00:01:11.07\00:01:12.40
We're talking
about Family Worship.
00:01:12.43\00:01:14.17
And so we're always
thrill when we come together
00:01:14.20\00:01:16.30
and be able to study God's Word.
00:01:16.34\00:01:17.67
And we pray you're just as
happy as we are and excited.
00:01:17.71\00:01:20.81
We have been...
00:01:20.84\00:01:22.18
I tell you, we've been
studying this Word of God
00:01:22.21\00:01:23.58
for a long, long time.
00:01:23.61\00:01:25.18
And this is gonna be
what, the fifth part?
00:01:25.21\00:01:27.22
Yes. Yeah.
00:01:27.25\00:01:28.78
We're gonna be talking about
the restitution of all things.
00:01:28.82\00:01:31.85
That's right.
00:01:31.89\00:01:33.22
And we realize
as we look at this,
00:01:33.25\00:01:34.59
that's the
relationship with the sanctuary.
00:01:34.62\00:01:37.03
We're looking the sanctuary,
we're looking over the past,
00:01:37.06\00:01:38.79
what, 500 years or so
that all these beautiful truths
00:01:38.83\00:01:41.80
has been restored.
00:01:41.83\00:01:43.16
And we've gathered information
00:01:43.20\00:01:44.53
if you're jotting
things down at home.
00:01:44.57\00:01:45.90
Acts Chapter 3
and Daniel Chapter 8.
00:01:45.93\00:01:48.24
"Well, the
truth was thrown down,
00:01:48.27\00:01:49.60
right, and covered up."
00:01:49.64\00:01:50.97
And God said, "In the last
days these beautiful truths
00:01:51.01\00:01:52.34
are going to be restored."
00:01:52.37\00:01:53.71
That's right.
00:01:53.74\00:01:55.08
And so we're looking forward
to getting into our read,
00:01:55.11\00:01:56.44
our last stop here.
00:01:56.48\00:01:58.58
And we talked about before
and we could go for, what?
00:01:58.61\00:02:01.05
Oh, my goodness. Oh, man.
00:02:01.08\00:02:03.02
On and on and on because
00:02:03.05\00:02:04.39
when we talk
about the sanctuary,
00:02:04.42\00:02:05.75
it's such a big
wonderful, beautiful subject.
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.69
We've already looked at in
case some of you've may joined
00:02:07.72\00:02:09.56
for the very first time.
00:02:09.59\00:02:10.93
We looked at the restitution,
the altar of sacrifice.
00:02:10.96\00:02:13.43
And we looked at the laver
00:02:13.46\00:02:14.90
and we go into the
Table of Showbread.
00:02:14.93\00:02:18.03
We go into the Altar of Incense
and then the Candlestick.
00:02:18.07\00:02:21.40
And then, so now,
the beautiful thing,
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.24
we're going into, by
faith, the Most Holy Place
00:02:23.27\00:02:27.44
and what is located there.
00:02:27.48\00:02:29.08
That's what we're
gonna be looking at studying.
00:02:29.11\00:02:30.91
And I think, today,
we'll be going probably
00:02:30.95\00:02:33.58
as we study that we're gonna
be going into a lot of different
00:02:33.62\00:02:36.89
aspects because it can come
in so many different angles.
00:02:36.92\00:02:40.16
And so we're
praying that the Holy Spirit
00:02:40.19\00:02:42.56
will illuminate
these beautiful truths
00:02:42.59\00:02:43.93
in each of your
minds here on the panel,
00:02:43.96\00:02:46.46
which we're very glad
that we have here before
00:02:46.49\00:02:48.06
we have our prayer.
00:02:48.10\00:02:49.43
We probably should
introduce them, don't you think?
00:02:49.46\00:02:50.80
Oh, yeah.
00:02:50.83\00:02:52.17
Brother Don
Owen, glad you're here.
00:02:52.20\00:02:53.54
Thank you for having me.
00:02:53.57\00:02:54.90
You're on the end
seat, you don't wanna fly.
00:02:54.94\00:02:56.27
No.
00:02:56.30\00:02:57.64
I think it's too
much pressure to be on it.
00:02:57.67\00:02:59.01
I'm nervous. No.
00:02:59.04\00:03:00.38
We're glad you are.
00:03:00.41\00:03:01.74
That's good, hold us together.
00:03:01.78\00:03:03.11
Brother JD Quinn,
always glad to have you.
00:03:03.14\00:03:04.48
Well, it's always my pleasure.
00:03:04.51\00:03:05.85
Yeah.
00:03:05.88\00:03:07.22
We love to study
the Word, isn't it?
00:03:07.25\00:03:08.58
Amen.
00:03:08.62\00:03:09.95
Yeah, somebody said a while ago
we had prayer before we start,
00:03:09.98\00:03:11.32
we also do it and have
a little few moments here.
00:03:11.35\00:03:12.69
But they said, "Have fun."
00:03:12.72\00:03:14.06
And I thought, "You
know what? That's true."
00:03:14.09\00:03:15.42
Because really it is
fun and we should have fun.
00:03:15.46\00:03:17.06
Oh, yeah.
00:03:17.09\00:03:18.43
There shouldn't
be strain and stress.
00:03:18.46\00:03:20.00
The study might be
putting it all together.
00:03:20.03\00:03:21.56
When it comes time,
set around God's table.
00:03:21.60\00:03:23.40
That's right.
00:03:23.43\00:03:24.77
And Holy Spirit is working.
00:03:24.80\00:03:26.23
It's gonna be fun.
00:03:26.27\00:03:27.60
And there's always a
nugget or two that comes after,
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.37
just catches the
seats by a surprise.
00:03:30.41\00:03:32.01
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:03:32.04\00:03:33.51
I'm looking for a lot
of nuggets to come in.
00:03:33.54\00:03:35.91
Amen.
00:03:35.94\00:03:37.28
I have my lovely
wife Chris next to me.
00:03:37.31\00:03:39.31
Thank you, you're
here today. Thank you.
00:03:39.35\00:03:40.95
Are you all geared up
for it? Are you really ready?
00:03:40.98\00:03:42.58
Oh, I don't know but
hopefully by the time...
00:03:42.62\00:03:44.29
No, we prayed about it
and asked the Holy Spirit.
00:03:44.32\00:03:45.65
So I've got...
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.02
I just know it's going
to be about faith believers.
00:03:47.06\00:03:49.46
And, Brother Ryan
Day, always a privilege...
00:03:49.49\00:03:51.83
I'm here, man.
00:03:51.86\00:03:53.19
I'm excited to be here.
00:03:53.23\00:03:54.56
I love the Word of God.
00:03:54.60\00:03:55.93
Isn't that
wonderful? Praise the Lord.
00:03:55.96\00:03:57.30
He says, "Taste and see
00:03:57.33\00:03:58.67
if He's not good and wonderful."
00:03:58.70\00:04:00.04
Of course. Absolutely.
00:04:00.07\00:04:01.40
And we have
Summer, Sister Summer...
00:04:01.44\00:04:02.77
And we have Summer on the piano.
00:04:02.80\00:04:04.14
Yes.
00:04:04.17\00:04:05.51
But she is a minute woman.
00:04:05.54\00:04:06.88
Is that what we call her?
00:04:06.91\00:04:08.24
Last minute.
00:04:08.28\00:04:09.61
Minute man, minute woman.
00:04:09.64\00:04:10.98
We're so very
grateful and thankful
00:04:11.01\00:04:12.35
that she is
willing to do that for us.
00:04:12.38\00:04:13.72
And again, we'll be
in the Most Holy Place
00:04:13.75\00:04:15.08
and we're gonna be
looking really at the Ark
00:04:15.12\00:04:17.15
of the Covenant talking
in the 1800s as it were.
00:04:17.19\00:04:20.62
And people say,
"Well, where does it go?"
00:04:20.66\00:04:22.79
I believe it
goes all the way down,
00:04:22.82\00:04:24.19
this beautiful truth
until Jesus shall come
00:04:24.23\00:04:27.00
because the
Sabbath truth comes out
00:04:27.03\00:04:28.56
and that's gonna be contested
all the way till Jesus comes.
00:04:28.60\00:04:31.33
So, you know, what
a good study it is.
00:04:31.37\00:04:33.23
But before that we're
gonna sing a song first
00:04:33.27\00:04:36.40
and then we're
going to have prayer.
00:04:36.44\00:04:38.57
Brother Ryan Day, we
always turn that over to you.
00:04:38.61\00:04:40.58
Absolutely.
00:04:40.61\00:04:41.94
So we're gonna be
singing from page 590
00:04:41.98\00:04:45.01
in the SDA Hymnal.
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.48
A good old-fashioned
hymn, "Trust and Obey."
00:04:46.51\00:04:48.95
So, Summer, take it away.
00:04:48.98\00:04:50.79
When we walk With
the Lord in the light
00:04:54.46\00:04:59.63
Of His Word What a glory
00:04:59.66\00:05:03.47
He sheds on our way!
00:05:03.50\00:05:07.94
While we do His good will
00:05:07.97\00:05:11.67
He abides with us still
00:05:11.71\00:05:15.04
And with all Who
will trust and obey
00:05:15.08\00:05:21.48
Trust and obey, For
there's no other way
00:05:21.52\00:05:28.39
To be happy in Jesus,
00:05:28.42\00:05:33.09
But to trust and obey
00:05:33.13\00:05:37.47
Not a shadow can rise
00:05:37.50\00:05:41.40
Not a cloud in the skies
00:05:41.44\00:05:45.31
But His smile
quickly drives It away
00:05:45.34\00:05:51.51
Not a doubt or a fear
00:05:51.55\00:05:55.45
Not a sigh or a tear
00:05:55.48\00:05:59.29
Can abide While
we trust and obey
00:05:59.32\00:06:05.66
Trust and obey,
00:06:05.69\00:06:08.96
For there's no other way
00:06:09.00\00:06:12.67
To be happy in Jesus,
00:06:12.70\00:06:17.44
but to trust and obey
00:06:17.47\00:06:22.28
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:06:22.31\00:06:23.65
Hallelujah.
00:06:23.68\00:06:25.01
What a beautiful song.
00:06:25.05\00:06:26.38
What a testimony.
00:06:26.41\00:06:28.15
Trust and obey for
there's no other way.
00:06:28.18\00:06:30.85
And we wanna take
this to the Lord right now.
00:06:30.89\00:06:32.49
Amen.
00:06:32.52\00:06:33.86
Brother JD, how about you?
00:06:33.89\00:06:35.22
Would you pray
for us, please? Amen.
00:06:35.26\00:06:36.59
Most certainly.
00:06:36.62\00:06:37.96
Father, as we come
together on the Sabbath day.
00:06:37.99\00:06:39.33
We just want to thank You, Lord,
00:06:39.36\00:06:40.70
so much for being in our hearts
and our minds, and Father,
00:06:40.73\00:06:42.96
we dedicate this time to you.
00:06:43.00\00:06:45.40
Father, we invite
the Holy Spirit in.
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.37
Father, just to
find those nuggets
00:06:47.40\00:06:49.30
that only You can give us, Lord,
00:06:49.34\00:06:51.47
so that we can share
among us and share with others.
00:06:51.51\00:06:54.88
So Father, just emptiest
of us, fill us with You.
00:06:54.91\00:06:57.88
We love you and
thank you in Jesus' name.
00:06:57.91\00:07:00.15
Amen. Amen.
00:07:00.18\00:07:01.52
Praise the Lord.
00:07:01.55\00:07:02.88
And we were praying
and hoping and believing,
00:07:02.92\00:07:04.49
you're praying along with us.
00:07:04.52\00:07:05.85
And we pray
here, you pray with us,
00:07:05.89\00:07:07.22
we hear that so often.
00:07:07.26\00:07:08.59
When you guys pray, we pray.
00:07:08.62\00:07:09.96
That's right.
00:07:09.99\00:07:11.33
We're very grateful and
thankful for that you do.
00:07:11.36\00:07:13.19
We are in question number six.
00:07:13.23\00:07:15.36
And again we
talked about is very open,
00:07:15.40\00:07:17.53
is very broad and when
you talk about the sanctuary,
00:07:17.57\00:07:20.30
it seems as though...
00:07:20.34\00:07:21.67
I think we'll be discussing
through the eternal age
00:07:21.70\00:07:23.30
as far as I'm concerned.
00:07:23.34\00:07:24.67
Mm-hmm.
00:07:24.71\00:07:26.04
So we're not gonna
plan on just getting down
00:07:26.07\00:07:27.44
to every little thing
where you know everything,
00:07:27.48\00:07:29.41
sanctuary is so big and
so vast and so wonderful.
00:07:29.44\00:07:31.81
It's God, it's
talking about God,
00:07:31.85\00:07:33.75
talking about plan of salvation.
00:07:33.78\00:07:35.45
So we're gonna look
at question number six,
00:07:35.48\00:07:36.82
read that, and then I
think that's just a springboard.
00:07:36.85\00:07:39.45
Let's use that as a springboard
00:07:39.49\00:07:41.32
that we can go
in lot of different
00:07:41.36\00:07:42.69
directions on this.
00:07:42.72\00:07:44.26
Because we realize
that we look at the 1800,
00:07:44.29\00:07:46.23
we look at 1844,
00:07:46.26\00:07:47.76
we look at what's going on here,
00:07:47.80\00:07:49.13
the Advent
movement and who was all
00:07:49.16\00:07:50.53
and different involved with it
and many we'll bring that out,
00:07:50.57\00:07:52.77
I'm sure.
00:07:52.80\00:07:54.14
I believe it's going
to reveal some things
00:07:54.17\00:07:56.20
that might be a
shock maybe to some.
00:07:56.24\00:07:58.77
But it's gonna be
a joy and hallelujah
00:07:58.81\00:08:00.41
and an amen to some
of the rest of us, right,
00:08:00.44\00:08:02.11
who believes these things.
00:08:02.14\00:08:04.58
Question six says,
"What are we doing to proclaim
00:08:04.61\00:08:07.38
the judgment
hour and all of these
00:08:07.42\00:08:09.82
precious truths that
are contained therein?"
00:08:09.85\00:08:12.65
Again, that's kind
of an open question.
00:08:12.69\00:08:14.82
Who'd like to
maybe begin right there?
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.53
And if we do, we
may wanna set that aside
00:08:17.56\00:08:19.43
and go back to where
maybe we believe the beginning
00:08:19.46\00:08:22.36
of this thing really
starting as far as that,
00:08:22.40\00:08:24.53
we're now by
faith entering where?
00:08:24.57\00:08:26.43
Yeah, the Most Holy Place.
00:08:26.47\00:08:27.80
Most Holy Place.
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.17
And my question
maybe, Brother Ryan,
00:08:29.20\00:08:32.41
is when was that
curtain as it were torn down?
00:08:32.44\00:08:35.84
Right, absolutely.
00:08:35.88\00:08:37.21
I love the question
that we asked earlier
00:08:37.25\00:08:39.01
which is what are we doing
to proclaim the judgment hour
00:08:39.05\00:08:41.88
and all of these precious truths
00:08:41.92\00:08:44.05
that are contained therein.
00:08:44.09\00:08:45.65
And when I think
of judgment hour,
00:08:45.69\00:08:47.56
I always start
with some present truth
00:08:47.59\00:08:50.63
that of course is
linked to some truth
00:08:50.66\00:08:52.79
that the Lord has
given many, many years ago
00:08:52.83\00:08:55.16
to set us up for the study.
00:08:55.20\00:08:56.53
So I wanna start actually
in Revelation Chapter 14
00:08:56.56\00:08:58.80
with the first angel's message.
00:08:58.83\00:09:00.17
Because it clearly
gives us some insight
00:09:00.20\00:09:03.04
as to what it is
that we are talking about
00:09:03.07\00:09:04.44
this morning or this evening.
00:09:04.47\00:09:06.84
And so, Revelation Chapter 14
00:09:06.88\00:09:08.58
beginning with
verse 6 obviously.
00:09:08.61\00:09:10.68
John is in vision, He says,
00:09:10.71\00:09:12.05
"And I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven,
00:09:12.08\00:09:13.95
having the everlasting
gospel to preach to those
00:09:13.98\00:09:16.55
who dwell on the earth,
and to every nation, tribe,
00:09:16.58\00:09:18.19
tongue, and people."
00:09:18.22\00:09:19.55
Just wanna pause
there and just make
00:09:19.59\00:09:20.92
a quick mention that, you know,
00:09:20.96\00:09:22.69
lot of times people think,
"Wait a second, judgment?"
00:09:22.72\00:09:24.63
Well, that's bad news.
00:09:24.66\00:09:25.99
Judgment is bad news.
00:09:26.03\00:09:27.36
Judgment is not
really good news.
00:09:27.40\00:09:29.16
So it can't be gospel, right?
00:09:29.20\00:09:31.13
Well, notice what verse 6 says
00:09:31.17\00:09:32.90
that these angels
are delivering what?
00:09:32.93\00:09:34.94
The everlasting gospel.
00:09:34.97\00:09:36.30
So now notice verse 7,
saying with a loud voice,
00:09:36.34\00:09:39.31
here comes the
first angel's message.
00:09:39.34\00:09:41.38
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:09:41.41\00:09:42.98
for the hour of His judgment..."
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.61
And I'm reading New King James
here, which says, "Has come."
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.42
King James is gonna
say, "Is come," same thing.
00:09:47.45\00:09:50.15
So "for the hour of
His judgment has come,
00:09:50.19\00:09:52.55
and worship Him who
made heaven and earth,
00:09:52.59\00:09:54.16
the sea and the
springs of waters."
00:09:54.19\00:09:56.42
And so, what this present truth
beautiful first angel's message
00:09:56.46\00:10:01.43
is telling us is that "Hey,
why do we need to fear God?
00:10:01.46\00:10:05.97
Why did we need to
return to worshiping Him?
00:10:06.00\00:10:08.37
Why do we need to give
Him all the glory now?"
00:10:08.40\00:10:10.97
Because we're living in
a last day judgment hour
00:10:11.01\00:10:14.51
prior to the
second coming of Jesus.
00:10:14.54\00:10:15.98
So when I think judgment,
00:10:16.01\00:10:17.98
if you are student
of the Word of God,
00:10:18.01\00:10:19.78
then you know that this
is gonna link us back to,
00:10:19.81\00:10:22.28
I believe, the
origin of the study
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.32
and where we are now
as we're transitioning
00:10:24.35\00:10:26.05
from the Holy Place
into the Most Holy Place.
00:10:26.09\00:10:28.36
We're gonna find
ourselves in Daniel Chapter 8
00:10:28.39\00:10:30.53
which is kind of the
really the foundation passage
00:10:30.56\00:10:34.96
of the whole thing,
00:10:35.00\00:10:36.33
because if you don't
have Daniel Chapter 8,
00:10:36.36\00:10:38.53
then you really have no...
00:10:38.57\00:10:40.60
This restoration
cannot even exist or happen
00:10:40.64\00:10:44.27
without Daniel Chapter 8.
00:10:44.31\00:10:45.84
And so we're in
Daniel Chapter 8.
00:10:45.87\00:10:47.71
Daniel, of course, is in vision,
00:10:47.74\00:10:49.44
and he's taking us through it.
00:10:49.48\00:10:51.41
As he's seeing these
animals, he's looking out
00:10:51.45\00:10:53.78
and he sees this
ram and this goat.
00:10:53.82\00:10:55.55
And we are told
right here that this ram
00:10:55.58\00:10:57.12
represents the
kingdom of Medo-Persia.
00:10:57.15\00:10:59.42
So he's kind of
taking us through a,
00:10:59.45\00:11:01.22
from his
perspective, the future.
00:11:01.26\00:11:03.02
But, of course,
we're looking in hindsight
00:11:03.06\00:11:04.56
back at the kingdoms of
the world, the progression.
00:11:04.59\00:11:07.20
And, of course,
next he sees this goat
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.10
with one horn on its head,
which we're told right here
00:11:10.13\00:11:12.57
in Daniel Chapter 8
00:11:12.60\00:11:13.94
that it is the nation of Greece.
00:11:13.97\00:11:15.30
So we see Medo-Persia,
Greece and then Daniel brings us
00:11:15.34\00:11:18.27
right up to the time of Rome.
00:11:18.31\00:11:20.98
And not just any
particular time of Rome,
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.14
because we know
historically Rome began
00:11:23.18\00:11:24.98
and started as kind of a
civil, political institution.
00:11:25.01\00:11:28.78
But then it evolves
into and transitions
00:11:28.82\00:11:31.32
into a religio-political system,
00:11:31.35\00:11:33.66
an amalgamation
of church and state.
00:11:33.69\00:11:35.76
And so what we're reading here
00:11:35.79\00:11:37.13
beginning in verse 9 and onward.
00:11:37.16\00:11:39.19
Notice what the Bible says.
00:11:39.23\00:11:40.56
Daniel Chapter 8
beginning with verse 9.
00:11:40.60\00:11:43.06
Speaking of this
second beast, this goat,
00:11:43.10\00:11:47.00
out of one of the goat's horns,
00:11:47.04\00:11:48.70
out of the one of
the goat's four horns.
00:11:48.74\00:11:50.81
Notice what it says.
00:11:50.84\00:11:52.17
Out of one of them
came a little horn.
00:11:52.21\00:11:54.78
And so this is
that same little horn
00:11:54.81\00:11:56.44
that Daniel sees
in Daniel Chapter 7,
00:11:56.48\00:11:58.41
the previous chapter.
00:11:58.45\00:11:59.78
This anti-Christ little horn,
00:11:59.81\00:12:01.78
which no doubt in my mind
00:12:01.82\00:12:03.25
for those who are
students of the Bible,
00:12:03.28\00:12:06.32
you know that if you
take Bible and history,
00:12:06.35\00:12:08.02
we have no doubt
speaking of this time period
00:12:08.06\00:12:10.99
of this
religio-political papal system.
00:12:11.03\00:12:13.90
So we're talking about
Roman papal church state.
00:12:13.93\00:12:16.16
And so this little horn
which grew exceedingly great
00:12:16.20\00:12:19.23
toward the
south, toward the east,
00:12:19.27\00:12:20.80
and toward the glorious land,
00:12:20.84\00:12:22.74
and then here
comes our clues here.
00:12:22.77\00:12:24.97
"And it grew up
to the host of heaven
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.01
and it cast
down some of the host
00:12:27.04\00:12:29.08
of some of the
stars to the ground
00:12:29.11\00:12:31.01
and trampled upon them."
00:12:31.05\00:12:33.21
He is growing exceedingly great.
00:12:33.25\00:12:35.05
And then notice verse 11.
00:12:35.08\00:12:36.42
"He even exalted himself
00:12:36.45\00:12:37.79
as high as the
Prince of the host."
00:12:37.82\00:12:39.15
So here comes this blasphemy.
00:12:39.19\00:12:41.42
Remember Daniel Chapter 7,
00:12:41.46\00:12:42.92
he speaks great words
00:12:42.96\00:12:44.29
and then Revelation
13 says and blasphemy.
00:12:44.33\00:12:46.66
So this is a blasphemous power.
00:12:46.70\00:12:48.26
He thinks to exalt
himself as high as Jesus,
00:12:48.30\00:12:51.63
the Prince of the host.
00:12:51.67\00:12:53.47
And so notice what
he continues to say,
00:12:53.50\00:12:55.27
"As high as the Prince of
host, and by him the daily..."
00:12:55.30\00:13:00.64
Okay, and your Bible might
say "sacrifices" behind them.
00:13:00.68\00:13:03.78
You'll see that word is...
00:13:03.81\00:13:05.15
It's italicized
00:13:05.18\00:13:06.51
because it's
not in the original.
00:13:06.55\00:13:07.88
But the daily, which
is sanctuary terminology,
00:13:07.92\00:13:11.35
is taken away.
00:13:11.39\00:13:12.72
Notice, "Were taken away,
and the place of His sanctuary
00:13:12.75\00:13:16.62
was cast down."
00:13:16.66\00:13:18.46
And he goes on to
tell us in verse 12.
00:13:18.49\00:13:19.86
"Because of transgression,
an army was given over to Him
00:13:19.89\00:13:22.50
to oppose the daily,
00:13:22.53\00:13:24.43
and to cast truth to the ground,
00:13:24.47\00:13:26.50
and He did all
this and prospered."
00:13:26.53\00:13:28.70
And so what we're seeing is
God is clearly revealing to us
00:13:28.74\00:13:31.91
from Daniel's perspective
future prophetic events.
00:13:31.94\00:13:35.41
We're now here,
we're past that period.
00:13:35.44\00:13:37.61
We're looking in hindsight back
00:13:37.65\00:13:39.11
and we're seeing all of
this has been fulfilled already.
00:13:39.15\00:13:42.42
And which this Roman
papal church system in history,
00:13:42.45\00:13:46.35
probably around
the early 500s AD,
00:13:46.39\00:13:49.12
began to cast down and trample
00:13:49.16\00:13:51.49
upon God's sanctuary message.
00:13:51.53\00:13:53.80
And, of course,
00:13:53.83\00:13:55.16
who is the antagonistic
figure behind all of this?
00:13:55.20\00:13:57.63
The devil.
00:13:57.67\00:13:59.20
Because the Bible
says in Revelation 30
00:13:59.23\00:14:00.70
that He gives His power,
00:14:00.74\00:14:02.07
his seat and
his great authority.
00:14:02.10\00:14:03.44
So the devil is
the root cause of this.
00:14:03.47\00:14:05.17
The devil...
00:14:05.21\00:14:06.54
No, I just got a minute,
00:14:06.57\00:14:07.91
but I wanna toss
the ball and you guys
00:14:07.94\00:14:09.28
'cause I get
excited about this topic.
00:14:09.31\00:14:10.65
I don't wanna
talk all this time.
00:14:10.68\00:14:12.01
But I wanna
make this very clear.
00:14:12.05\00:14:13.38
The devil knows... Yes, he does.
00:14:13.42\00:14:15.05
That if he can
attack the sanctuary truth,
00:14:15.08\00:14:18.19
because the devil knows that
within the sanctuary message
00:14:18.22\00:14:20.56
is the plan of salvation.
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.19
He knows that if we comprehend
00:14:22.22\00:14:23.63
the importance of the symbolism
00:14:23.66\00:14:25.06
of what all of
these things mean,
00:14:25.09\00:14:26.70
then we'll clearly
see God's progressive plan
00:14:26.73\00:14:29.13
of salvation for our life.
00:14:29.16\00:14:30.50
And so what does he do
around the early 500s AD?
00:14:30.53\00:14:33.10
He raises up a
counterfeit priesthood.
00:14:33.13\00:14:36.00
And then one by
one over a period
00:14:36.04\00:14:38.11
of about a thousand years,
00:14:38.14\00:14:39.47
we see that these truths
of God's sanctuary messages
00:14:39.51\00:14:43.28
being plucked out
one by one by one.
00:14:43.31\00:14:45.91
And so that's why, when we
get to Daniel 8:14, Donald,
00:14:45.95\00:14:49.58
and we're gonna talk
about these 2300 years.
00:14:49.62\00:14:51.85
God says, "You know what?
00:14:51.89\00:14:53.22
There's a period of 2300 years
00:14:53.25\00:14:54.76
in which I'm going to
cleanse the sanctuary."
00:14:54.79\00:14:57.46
And by the end of
that 2300 year time period,
00:14:57.49\00:15:00.23
which we're gonna see
brings us to the year 1844,
00:15:00.26\00:15:03.30
God has promised
that by the year 1844,
00:15:03.33\00:15:06.07
the end of this
2300 time prophecy,
00:15:06.10\00:15:09.04
that His, the completeness
of His sanctuary message
00:15:09.07\00:15:12.67
is gonna be restored
and it's gonna be cleansed.
00:15:12.71\00:15:15.18
And now we're here,
00:15:15.21\00:15:16.75
we're living in that time space.
00:15:16.78\00:15:18.11
Yes, yeah. That's right.
00:15:18.15\00:15:19.65
Can I just
insert one little thing.
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.55
Just for those maybe at
home that don't understand
00:15:21.58\00:15:24.55
or maybe never
read in the Bible.
00:15:24.59\00:15:26.29
But you said the devil knows.
00:15:26.32\00:15:27.86
The devil knows
00:15:27.89\00:15:29.22
because he was a covering cherub
00:15:29.26\00:15:31.16
over the Ark of the Covenant
in heaven over God's law.
00:15:31.19\00:15:36.06
And what's so very vital
00:15:36.10\00:15:38.30
and I think interesting to note,
00:15:38.33\00:15:40.04
the first war of all
wars began in heaven.
00:15:40.07\00:15:44.64
And it was over
00:15:44.67\00:15:46.31
what was in the
Ark of the Covenant,
00:15:46.34\00:15:48.54
the law of God.
00:15:48.58\00:15:50.21
And so now here we
are at the very end,
00:15:50.25\00:15:52.88
the very last war will
be over the law of God.
00:15:52.91\00:15:57.25
Absolutely. So interesting.
00:15:57.29\00:15:59.19
So he knows the sanctuary
00:15:59.22\00:16:01.02
because he had
a high place as...
00:16:01.06\00:16:06.86
He knows it better than anyone.
00:16:06.90\00:16:08.23
Right, a
covering cherub, exactly.
00:16:08.26\00:16:10.13
And he used to keep that law
until he decided that he was...
00:16:10.17\00:16:13.17
Sounds celestial.
00:16:13.20\00:16:14.67
I mean this really
should excite us to realize
00:16:14.70\00:16:16.71
that we have a mission.
00:16:16.74\00:16:18.91
We have something
which we should be doing
00:16:18.94\00:16:20.91
that God has ordained that we do
00:16:20.94\00:16:22.31
and we are to not get
distracted by other things.
00:16:22.34\00:16:24.81
That's right. You
feel the urgency of it.
00:16:24.85\00:16:28.02
And we know what
we should be doing.
00:16:28.05\00:16:29.38
What do you think
we should be doing now?
00:16:29.42\00:16:30.75
You know what?
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.12
While you were speaking to me,
00:16:32.15\00:16:33.49
when you were
talking what hit my mind
00:16:33.52\00:16:34.86
was just seeing Jesus
00:16:34.89\00:16:36.22
in the wilderness being tempted.
00:16:36.26\00:16:37.59
Oh.
00:16:37.63\00:16:38.96
I thought about
that last one, he said,
00:16:38.99\00:16:40.33
but if you'll fall
down and worship me,
00:16:40.36\00:16:41.70
I give you all these
worlds and it's like...
00:16:41.73\00:16:43.06
That just caught me
when you said that, you know,
00:16:43.10\00:16:44.43
these idea that Satan
wants to be worshiped.
00:16:44.47\00:16:46.13
So what is he gonna do?
00:16:46.17\00:16:47.50
He's gonna
trample down the truth
00:16:47.54\00:16:48.94
so he will be the
one who is lifted up.
00:16:48.97\00:16:50.61
He said, "I will be
like God, the Most High God."
00:16:50.64\00:16:52.37
Well...
00:16:52.41\00:16:53.74
So, you know, I think
she is gonna piggyback us.
00:16:53.78\00:16:55.11
Well, because when you think
00:16:55.14\00:16:57.01
about he was
tempted with the bread,
00:16:57.05\00:16:58.98
the table of
showbread, you know, He was...
00:16:59.01\00:17:03.02
Be careful now.
00:17:03.05\00:17:04.39
The devil said, "I'll
give you the whole world,"
00:17:04.42\00:17:05.75
like you just read the light,
the candlestick, you know,
00:17:05.79\00:17:09.02
'cause that
represents God's church.
00:17:09.06\00:17:10.83
And I'll give you the
church. You want the church?
00:17:10.86\00:17:12.66
Just fall down and worship me.
00:17:12.69\00:17:14.33
And what was the
other one, the third?
00:17:14.36\00:17:15.86
Come down from the throne. Yeah.
00:17:15.90\00:17:19.13
But the third
one, I know had to do
00:17:19.17\00:17:20.90
with the Altar of Incense,
but I can't think what it was,
00:17:20.94\00:17:23.14
and who could can help me here?
00:17:23.17\00:17:24.51
Anybody? I'm
trying but I'm sorry.
00:17:24.54\00:17:25.87
Okay, all right, but I know.
00:17:25.91\00:17:27.34
But what's interesting
is because he knows this.
00:17:27.38\00:17:29.94
He understands
the sanctuary message
00:17:29.98\00:17:31.85
and every one
of those temptation
00:17:31.88\00:17:33.38
had to do with
something in the sanctuary.
00:17:33.42\00:17:35.62
'Cause he's just talking
about the Altar of Incense
00:17:35.65\00:17:37.52
and you're talking about
prayer in likeness of Christ
00:17:37.55\00:17:40.09
and what the enemy wants us too,
00:17:40.12\00:17:41.86
he wants us
certainly to pray to him.
00:17:41.89\00:17:43.53
But in our movement
that we're talking about
00:17:43.56\00:17:44.99
in the sanctuary here,
remember in the Holy Place
00:17:45.03\00:17:47.56
where he went for 18 centuries.
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.43
That's where Jesus worked.
00:17:49.46\00:17:50.80
Then he made his move,
00:17:50.83\00:17:52.17
but majority of the
Christian world did what?
00:17:52.20\00:17:54.97
They stayed in the Holy
Place is where the prayers
00:17:55.00\00:17:57.54
are being offered
now into the Holy Place.
00:17:57.57\00:17:59.74
So they cannot
be answered by God
00:17:59.77\00:18:02.21
because we must follow
Jesus into the Most Holy.
00:18:02.24\00:18:04.68
So the enemy then is
taking over as it were
00:18:04.71\00:18:07.55
and he is
making other folk stay.
00:18:07.58\00:18:10.05
You don't have
to be one of those,
00:18:10.09\00:18:11.42
we're not trying
to point fingers.
00:18:11.45\00:18:12.79
But if we're still
in the Holy Place...
00:18:12.82\00:18:14.16
That's right.
00:18:14.19\00:18:15.52
Since 1844, we need to
move to the Most Holy...
00:18:15.56\00:18:17.33
Right, that's right.
00:18:17.36\00:18:18.69
Where we can be
benefitted by His merits
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.93
and what He is doing
in our behalf right now.
00:18:20.96\00:18:23.06
Amen.
00:18:23.10\00:18:24.43
There's a scripture that
touches me just real quick,
00:18:24.47\00:18:27.04
Psalm 68:24 and it
just, Lord brought me to this.
00:18:27.07\00:18:30.37
I'm gonna read this
from the King James Version,
00:18:30.41\00:18:31.81
I think it says, "They
see Your goings, O God,
00:18:31.84\00:18:34.08
even the solemn
processions of my God, my King,
00:18:34.11\00:18:37.98
into the
sanctuary, and the holiness."
00:18:38.01\00:18:39.78
What that's saying
there is they're watching
00:18:39.81\00:18:42.32
God goes through
the different elements
00:18:42.35\00:18:44.19
in the sanctuary.
00:18:44.22\00:18:45.55
So they're
watching the procession
00:18:45.59\00:18:46.92
of what God's
doing in that sanctuary.
00:18:46.96\00:18:48.29
Isn't that amazing? Yeah.
00:18:48.32\00:18:49.66
You know, once
you begin to kind of
00:18:49.69\00:18:51.03
become aware of the sanctuary,
00:18:51.06\00:18:52.93
all of a sudden
you see different parts
00:18:52.96\00:18:55.36
of history that all
follow the sanctuary.
00:18:55.40\00:18:59.30
The Bible says, what is it?
00:18:59.33\00:19:00.67
Psalms, "Thy way, O
God, is in the sanctuary."
00:19:00.70\00:19:04.21
So the history of the church,
even the different experiences
00:19:04.24\00:19:08.48
that they had,
the Israelites had,
00:19:08.51\00:19:10.18
they were
following the procession
00:19:10.21\00:19:12.15
through the sanctuary.
00:19:12.18\00:19:13.75
It's amazing.
00:19:13.78\00:19:15.12
So the bottom-line is, is
this good news or bad news?
00:19:15.15\00:19:17.15
It's good news. Good news?
00:19:17.19\00:19:18.52
It's good news
00:19:18.55\00:19:19.89
because the truth
shall set you free.
00:19:19.92\00:19:21.26
Exactly.
00:19:21.29\00:19:22.62
So does that mean some people
00:19:22.66\00:19:23.99
have more
information than other people
00:19:24.03\00:19:25.56
or we all on the same page
00:19:25.59\00:19:27.20
or some people
more hungry and thirsty?
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.10
And they're trying
to figure things out?
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.33
Do you know what?
00:19:32.37\00:19:33.70
I've always said
'cause it's a gift
00:19:33.74\00:19:35.07
of the Holy Spirit for
us to be hungry and thirsty.
00:19:35.10\00:19:37.54
And a lot of times, we
come to the realization that
00:19:37.57\00:19:40.24
we should be hungry and
thirsty but we're really not.
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.14
Oh.
00:19:42.18\00:19:43.51
So I've often
encouraged people pray.
00:19:43.55\00:19:46.31
Pray that God will give you
00:19:46.35\00:19:47.78
that through the
power of the Holy Spirit,
00:19:47.82\00:19:49.58
a hunger and a thirst
for righteousness, for truth.
00:19:49.62\00:19:52.25
Amen.
00:19:52.29\00:19:53.62
Because when you
begin to pray for truth,
00:19:53.66\00:19:55.19
things begin to change.
00:19:55.22\00:19:56.73
You know, I wish...
00:19:56.76\00:19:58.13
I was saying when
the cameras were off
00:19:58.16\00:19:59.96
because some
people sitting around me
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.60
just have such a
wonderful recollection
00:20:01.63\00:20:04.50
of the Word of God
and they can retain it
00:20:04.53\00:20:06.43
and they can recall it.
00:20:06.47\00:20:08.07
And I feel like I
have to go in and search
00:20:08.10\00:20:09.97
and I need to have it
in front of me, you know,
00:20:10.01\00:20:11.47
'cause I just don't have that.
00:20:11.51\00:20:12.84
I'd love to have that.
00:20:12.87\00:20:14.21
But, you know,
the beautiful thing is
00:20:14.24\00:20:16.28
it's there for us.
00:20:16.31\00:20:17.65
We can...
00:20:17.68\00:20:19.31
Right now we so many,
00:20:19.35\00:20:21.28
so many options
to get this truth.
00:20:21.32\00:20:24.19
But we have to
learn to eat at that bread
00:20:24.22\00:20:26.76
which is part of that,
00:20:26.79\00:20:28.12
the bread of
life which is Christ.
00:20:28.16\00:20:30.23
You know, the word of God.
00:20:30.26\00:20:31.59
He said He is the
word and we need to learn
00:20:31.63\00:20:33.33
to pray the Altar of Incense.
00:20:33.36\00:20:35.80
And so then our
lights will begin to shine,
00:20:35.83\00:20:38.30
whether it's a
little bit or a lot.
00:20:38.33\00:20:39.67
God didn't say
how much, you know,
00:20:39.70\00:20:41.20
He just wants us to learn
00:20:41.24\00:20:42.87
and He will
judge us accordingly.
00:20:42.90\00:20:44.37
Brother JD opened
the box there, didn't he?
00:20:44.41\00:20:46.27
When you set about
'cause you were hungry.
00:20:46.31\00:20:48.34
You sit down at the
table, I mean, this got lot of
00:20:48.38\00:20:50.38
nice good food on, basically.
00:20:50.41\00:20:51.75
Right?
00:20:51.78\00:20:53.11
And you just ate it
a little bit before.
00:20:53.15\00:20:54.72
You really can't
fool him by that table.
00:20:54.75\00:20:56.35
Oh, no.
00:20:56.38\00:20:57.72
They're gonna
know how you're trying
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.09
to picking and eating it...
00:20:59.12\00:21:00.46
I don't know.
00:21:00.49\00:21:01.89
Use that spiritually,
you know what I mean.
00:21:01.92\00:21:03.26
And when you're really
hungry, when you sit down...
00:21:03.29\00:21:05.06
When I sit down,
you're gonna know I'm hungry.
00:21:05.09\00:21:06.86
Oh, yes. Yeah,
you want to eat it.
00:21:06.90\00:21:08.23
You perform the magic.
00:21:08.26\00:21:09.60
Yeah, I'm gonna right ahead
00:21:09.63\00:21:10.97
and just keep
right on going, you know.
00:21:11.00\00:21:12.33
Yes, right.
00:21:12.37\00:21:13.70
And spiritually, I think
we need to make sure that,
00:21:13.74\00:21:15.07
like, we're
hungering and thirsting.
00:21:15.10\00:21:16.50
We come to the Word of
God, we open it up in faith,
00:21:16.54\00:21:19.07
believing, and praying that
the Holy Spirit would be sent
00:21:19.11\00:21:21.21
that will lead us in all truth.
00:21:21.24\00:21:22.78
Believe it's going to happen.
00:21:22.81\00:21:24.68
Believe that God's
gonna do great things.
00:21:24.71\00:21:26.18
And we see that
in the Word of God.
00:21:26.21\00:21:28.28
Sometimes it's the
people that have...
00:21:28.32\00:21:31.25
It appears as if so
they've done the worse sin.
00:21:31.29\00:21:35.42
And then when they
come to that bread of life,
00:21:35.46\00:21:38.39
they're so hungry, they
just wanna cram it all in
00:21:38.43\00:21:42.30
and get as much as possible.
00:21:42.33\00:21:44.13
But sometimes when
we feel like we're full
00:21:44.17\00:21:46.57
and in need of
nothing, well, maybe, you know,
00:21:46.60\00:21:48.97
I don't know if
that's right or wrong.
00:21:49.00\00:21:50.34
Get complacent.
00:21:50.37\00:21:51.71
Yeah, so we need
to pray to be hungry.
00:21:51.74\00:21:54.68
What did Jesus say
00:21:54.71\00:21:56.24
in His first
sermon on the mount?
00:21:56.28\00:21:57.61
He said, "Blessed that are
00:21:57.65\00:21:59.68
those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness."
00:21:59.71\00:22:02.58
And we are in that time now
00:22:02.62\00:22:04.82
and I keep
mentioning the present truth.
00:22:04.85\00:22:07.06
You know what? Truth is truth.
00:22:07.09\00:22:08.42
But we're talking about...
00:22:08.46\00:22:09.79
What the message we're
talking about right now,
00:22:09.82\00:22:11.29
what Christ is doing
in the Most Holy Place
00:22:11.33\00:22:13.56
of the heavenly sanctuary.
00:22:13.60\00:22:14.93
That is the present
truth for this time.
00:22:14.96\00:22:16.87
And, you know, the question
I have as I was studying this.
00:22:16.90\00:22:19.80
We have over the last
four studies together.
00:22:19.83\00:22:23.87
We have seen this clear
progressive restoration.
00:22:23.91\00:22:27.44
As we see, the devil
began to take them all back.
00:22:27.48\00:22:30.15
The Lord said, "No, I'm
gonna raise up a movement
00:22:30.18\00:22:33.18
that's gonna replace this."
00:22:33.21\00:22:34.55
And so we saw Martin
Luther and the movement
00:22:34.58\00:22:36.58
of the Lutherans
replaced the Altar of Sacrifice.
00:22:36.62\00:22:39.85
We saw clearly
00:22:39.89\00:22:41.26
how the
Anabaptist movement replaced
00:22:41.29\00:22:43.49
the truth behind the laver,
00:22:43.53\00:22:45.16
which is the
truth behind baptism
00:22:45.19\00:22:46.96
and the washing away of sins.
00:22:47.00\00:22:48.43
We saw clearly how the beautiful
00:22:48.46\00:22:53.27
message behind the
table of showbread,
00:22:53.30\00:22:55.60
how the Lord raised up
during that time Wycliffe,
00:22:55.64\00:22:58.64
John Wycliffe.
00:22:58.67\00:23:00.01
And how him and the Lollards
00:23:00.04\00:23:01.38
began to raise up a movement
00:23:01.41\00:23:02.88
to bring emphasis and importance
00:23:02.91\00:23:04.68
back to the Word
of God and putting it
00:23:04.71\00:23:06.55
into the hands of the people
00:23:06.58\00:23:07.92
so that they can
read it for themselves.
00:23:07.95\00:23:09.28
The devil doesn't
want you reading the Bible.
00:23:09.32\00:23:10.65
No!
00:23:10.69\00:23:12.02
He doesn't want you studying
the Word of God for yourself.
00:23:12.05\00:23:13.39
And so we see that the
Lord raised up these mighty men.
00:23:13.42\00:23:15.99
He would raise up John Wesley
and the beautiful movement
00:23:16.02\00:23:19.46
there of the Methodist movement
to replace the lampstand.
00:23:19.49\00:23:24.53
And then we see John
Calvin in the Presbyterian
00:23:24.57\00:23:28.50
as he brings back the importance
00:23:28.54\00:23:29.94
of not praying to
man but praying to God.
00:23:29.97\00:23:32.17
And so we see through
time, God progressively...
00:23:32.21\00:23:34.94
But now here comes the question,
00:23:34.98\00:23:38.11
the sanctuary is not
completed till you go
00:23:38.15\00:23:39.68
into the Most Holy Place.
00:23:39.71\00:23:41.12
So now we get to this
last article of furniture,
00:23:41.15\00:23:44.49
the Ark of the Covenant,
"the Ark of the Covenant."
00:23:44.52\00:23:48.66
So what's inside
that box? That's right.
00:23:48.69\00:23:50.83
God's holy Ten Commandment Law.
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.79
And the devil...
Demeaning it all.
00:23:52.83\00:23:54.40
Absolute, and so
the devil has now,
00:23:54.43\00:23:56.63
during that papal
reign, that Dark Ages,
00:23:56.67\00:23:59.87
he has replaced God's holy
law with traditions of men.
00:23:59.90\00:24:05.17
Amen. So now how...
00:24:05.21\00:24:06.64
Since he's used all
these other powerful men
00:24:06.68\00:24:08.44
in movements to help
bring the truth back,
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.18
who is he gonna
raise up to bring back
00:24:11.21\00:24:13.01
the truth of His Holy
Place, His Most Holy Place?
00:24:13.05\00:24:16.58
Yes, I think it's
important what you just covered
00:24:16.62\00:24:18.59
'cause this was in my mind too,
00:24:18.62\00:24:20.72
is we're
building on the foundation
00:24:20.76\00:24:22.56
of those who've come before us.
00:24:22.59\00:24:23.93
That's right.
00:24:23.96\00:24:25.29
And so there was a
great awakening, you know.
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.36
You can look back in history
and it caused a great religious
00:24:27.40\00:24:31.70
or spiritual awakening
that occurred in 1800s,
00:24:31.73\00:24:34.30
wasn't just in the United States
00:24:34.34\00:24:35.77
but it was worldwide.
00:24:35.80\00:24:37.14
And people began to
look at these prophecies
00:24:37.17\00:24:39.57
and God did raise up a people.
00:24:39.61\00:24:41.98
And eventually they did,
I guess I'll just say it.
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.78
They did become the
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:24:44.81\00:24:46.15
That's right.
00:24:46.18\00:24:47.52
And it's really, if you
are a Seventh-day Adventist,
00:24:47.55\00:24:49.35
so you look at this message,
00:24:49.38\00:24:50.72
it is a message
of prophetic destiny.
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.72
That's right.
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.09
Because we're
building on those...
00:24:55.12\00:24:57.86
How do I put it?
00:24:57.89\00:24:59.23
Those blocks or
those foundations
00:24:59.26\00:25:00.73
that came before us
through all these other men
00:25:00.76\00:25:03.23
that God rose up.
00:25:03.26\00:25:04.60
And it wasn't just
one man at one time.
00:25:04.63\00:25:06.77
He had others, they
came in and helped Him
00:25:06.80\00:25:08.94
begin to share the word.
00:25:08.97\00:25:10.51
And what's interesting is
say if you were a Baptist,
00:25:10.54\00:25:13.81
see at that time everybody
believed in sprinkling.
00:25:13.84\00:25:16.51
So if you began to speak
about baptism my immersion,
00:25:16.54\00:25:19.28
which is what we found
out that the Bible teaches,
00:25:19.31\00:25:21.78
you know, you
would be called strange.
00:25:21.82\00:25:23.45
No, of course.
00:25:23.49\00:25:24.82
You know, they'd
wanna stay away from me.
00:25:24.85\00:25:26.19
You would be... You
would be persecuted.
00:25:26.22\00:25:27.56
A cult. How about a cult?
00:25:27.59\00:25:29.06
Have Adventists ever
been accused of being a cult?
00:25:29.09\00:25:30.99
Yes.
00:25:31.03\00:25:32.36
Yes, you know, by
putting the Word of God
00:25:32.39\00:25:34.43
and he said that they
had their own law but,
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.47
you know, God, not
God, but the devil has tried
00:25:37.50\00:25:40.04
to nail God's law to the cross.
00:25:40.07\00:25:41.94
He's done away
with. That's right.
00:25:41.97\00:25:43.81
Basically, we can be
good without the law.
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.64
We don't need a law. How
many of we ever had that?
00:25:46.68\00:25:48.74
I don't need a
law. I don't need rules.
00:25:48.78\00:25:51.15
I'm going back to
teenager time, you know.
00:25:51.18\00:25:53.08
Go back to high school.
00:25:53.11\00:25:54.45
I don't need rules
to help me to be good.
00:25:54.48\00:25:56.42
I'm good on my own.
00:25:56.45\00:25:57.79
See that was the
original lie, part of it.
00:25:57.82\00:26:01.19
And that's what
continued throughout history.
00:26:01.22\00:26:03.89
And that's what
we're dealing with now.
00:26:03.93\00:26:05.46
People wanna go to church.
They wanna have a good time.
00:26:05.49\00:26:08.53
But when it comes to
studying, and not just reading
00:26:08.56\00:26:12.00
but getting in there
and digging for treasure.
00:26:12.03\00:26:15.77
You're right, and
allowing the Word of God
00:26:15.80\00:26:17.14
to interpret itself.
00:26:17.17\00:26:18.51
Yes. Yes, that is the key.
00:26:18.54\00:26:19.87
Allowing God to
tell you what God means.
00:26:19.91\00:26:21.98
That's very important. So...
00:26:22.01\00:26:24.01
You know, as you've
seen all these dealing
00:26:24.05\00:26:25.38
once you were
talking about all these,
00:26:25.41\00:26:26.98
most people seem
like they're Christians,
00:26:27.02\00:26:28.88
really are not
having much of a problem.
00:26:28.92\00:26:31.35
They go kind of whether
it's a Bible and studying
00:26:31.39\00:26:33.52
and praying and witnessing that.
00:26:33.56\00:26:34.99
But now we are in the heavy duty
00:26:35.02\00:26:36.79
that you said
they're most important.
00:26:36.83\00:26:38.59
I think it was the
Ten Commandment law
00:26:38.63\00:26:41.10
is where the
issue blows down to.
00:26:41.13\00:26:42.46
Of course.
00:26:42.50\00:26:43.83
Isn't that interesting, I read,
00:26:43.87\00:26:45.73
I think it was
Exodus Chapter 40.
00:26:45.77\00:26:48.54
When God said to put the
stuff into the sanctuary,
00:26:48.57\00:26:52.47
I don't think I
knew this before,
00:26:52.51\00:26:53.84
but Moses did it.
00:26:53.88\00:26:55.21
Mm-hmm. Right?
00:26:55.24\00:26:56.58
I'm thinking why didn't
that just registered with me.
00:26:56.61\00:26:58.71
Moses put those
pieces of furniture in there.
00:26:58.75\00:27:01.78
And notice how he... This
is the way I've read this.
00:27:01.82\00:27:05.25
He started from the
Most Holy Place first
00:27:05.29\00:27:08.46
and worked his way out.
00:27:08.49\00:27:10.43
Because the law is the center.
00:27:10.46\00:27:12.99
Jesus is certainly the
center but the law of God
00:27:13.03\00:27:15.63
is the throne room
of God that incorporates
00:27:15.66\00:27:17.70
God and Christ
that is His throne
00:27:17.73\00:27:20.84
which is unchangeable.
00:27:20.87\00:27:22.20
It tells that the law
of God is unchangeable.
00:27:22.24\00:27:23.57
Mm-hmm.
00:27:23.61\00:27:24.94
So I thought that
was very interesting.
00:27:24.97\00:27:26.31
They said like in verse
3, "And thou shalt put there
00:27:26.34\00:27:28.44
in the ark of the testimony."
00:27:28.48\00:27:29.81
So when he was... I
wanna say decorating.
00:27:29.84\00:27:32.31
Right? Decorating.
00:27:32.35\00:27:33.68
He's putting it
in. He's telling first.
00:27:33.72\00:27:35.25
"Get the Ten
Commandment law. Get that ark.
00:27:35.28\00:27:37.52
Get that box and put it,
you know, put that in there."
00:27:37.55\00:27:41.59
And we're gonna work from
there because that is what?
00:27:41.62\00:27:44.49
That represents what?
God's throne, does it not?
00:27:44.53\00:27:45.99
That's right.
00:27:46.03\00:27:47.60
God's throne where
everything else emanates from.
00:27:47.63\00:27:50.67
You know, I
thought, you know, that I...
00:27:50.70\00:27:52.60
Silly me.
00:27:52.63\00:27:53.97
I just hadn't rethought
about that way before as far as.
00:27:54.00\00:27:56.40
You kind of start
from the outward and go in.
00:27:56.44\00:27:58.37
But God said,
"I'm gonna show you
00:27:58.41\00:27:59.74
what the center
of this all about."
00:27:59.77\00:28:01.11
Yes, that
foundation of his government.
00:28:01.14\00:28:02.78
And really we're
talking about the judgment hour.
00:28:02.81\00:28:05.51
What are we
being judged on? Or by?
00:28:05.55\00:28:09.65
The law of God.
00:28:09.68\00:28:11.02
The law of God. The law of God.
00:28:11.05\00:28:12.39
So that is one reason why
it is so vitally important,
00:28:12.42\00:28:16.09
the deaf understood this.
00:28:16.12\00:28:17.53
I just thought
of Revelation 12:17.
00:28:17.56\00:28:20.60
"The devil, the dragon
was wroth with the woman."
00:28:20.63\00:28:23.73
See this, the woman
is this last church,
00:28:23.77\00:28:26.13
that's the last movement
that's bringing this law back
00:28:26.17\00:28:29.34
and saying, "Look,
people, this is the law.
00:28:29.37\00:28:31.54
This is what the
judgment hour is all about.
00:28:31.57\00:28:34.48
This is what you need
to... You'll be judged by.
00:28:34.51\00:28:38.21
You'll be judged by."
00:28:38.25\00:28:39.58
It says, "The dragon
was wroth with the woman,
00:28:39.61\00:28:41.22
and went to make
war with the remnant."
00:28:41.25\00:28:43.32
The last part and
I always like this,
00:28:43.35\00:28:45.19
you know, those of us who sow
or used to sow when I had time.
00:28:45.22\00:28:48.56
You know, you
get a bolt of fabric
00:28:48.59\00:28:50.39
and at the very end, we
call that remnant pieces.
00:28:50.43\00:28:52.93
Sometimes we go
by remnant pieces
00:28:52.96\00:28:54.60
'cause they were
"cheaper" in the store.
00:28:54.63\00:28:56.63
But that pattern
was exactly the same
00:28:56.67\00:28:59.17
from the beginning of that bolt.
00:28:59.20\00:29:00.94
The pattern here,
this remnant church
00:29:00.97\00:29:02.77
is exactly the same.
00:29:02.80\00:29:04.31
This is the way God
wanted His church to be
00:29:04.34\00:29:06.98
from the very beginning.
00:29:07.01\00:29:08.44
"So with the
remnant of her seed,
00:29:08.48\00:29:10.48
which keep the commandments,"
00:29:10.51\00:29:12.45
Revelation 12:17,
which keep the commandments.
00:29:12.48\00:29:15.65
So if they were
done at the cross,
00:29:15.68\00:29:17.02
would John be
talking about it then?
00:29:17.05\00:29:19.29
This was after the
cross. That's right.
00:29:19.32\00:29:20.99
You know, they
were not done away with.
00:29:21.02\00:29:22.62
"Which keep the commandments..."
00:29:22.66\00:29:23.99
It doesn't say
nine-tenths, or three-fourths,
00:29:24.03\00:29:27.30
or whatever you want to pick up.
00:29:27.33\00:29:28.70
That's right.
00:29:28.73\00:29:30.07
It says, "Which keep
the commandments of God,
00:29:30.10\00:29:31.63
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ,"
00:29:31.67\00:29:34.44
or the Spirit of Prophecy.
00:29:34.47\00:29:35.84
So it's a beautiful
two identifying marks
00:29:35.87\00:29:38.94
of this movement.
00:29:38.97\00:29:40.31
Amen. That's amazing.
00:29:40.34\00:29:41.68
It is amazing. It's amazing.
00:29:41.71\00:29:43.04
And what's so powerful
00:29:43.08\00:29:44.58
when you think
of it in this sense.
00:29:44.61\00:29:46.05
Okay, you guys are
parents. I don't have kids.
00:29:46.08\00:29:50.52
I don't think JD or
Donald have kids yet.
00:29:50.55\00:29:52.52
But you guys raised
kids. Okay, you had a home.
00:29:52.55\00:29:54.66
You're a family.
00:29:54.69\00:29:56.02
And you have rules in that home.
00:29:56.06\00:29:57.39
That's right. Okay?
00:29:57.43\00:29:58.76
In other words, you
know, I'm not suspected
00:29:58.79\00:30:01.06
that a Christian family,
they wanna raise their kids
00:30:01.10\00:30:03.70
in the way of the
Lord as the Bible says.
00:30:03.73\00:30:05.07
Amen.
00:30:05.10\00:30:06.43
And so you do all that you can,
00:30:06.47\00:30:07.80
the best of your
ability to protect
00:30:07.84\00:30:09.17
that little innocent mind.
00:30:09.20\00:30:10.54
And so you're
not gonna allow them
00:30:10.57\00:30:11.91
just to listen
anything in that home.
00:30:11.94\00:30:13.27
You're not gonna allow them
00:30:13.31\00:30:14.64
just to watch
anything in that home.
00:30:14.68\00:30:16.01
There's not gonna be
any negative influences
00:30:16.04\00:30:18.01
within the home that
you're raising that kid.
00:30:18.05\00:30:20.22
So in other words,
good Christian homes,
00:30:20.25\00:30:22.58
or any good home is gonna
have a series of moral rules
00:30:22.62\00:30:26.12
just established in that home.
00:30:26.15\00:30:27.49
Now you're not gonna allow
someone from off the street,
00:30:27.52\00:30:31.69
some random Joe that perhaps is,
00:30:31.73\00:30:33.96
I'm just gonna say,
00:30:34.00\00:30:35.33
a pedophile to
come into your home.
00:30:35.36\00:30:37.40
Someone who violates
those principles in your home
00:30:37.43\00:30:40.24
because you're trying
to protect your kingdom,
00:30:40.27\00:30:43.61
you know, your home, your kids.
00:30:43.64\00:30:45.14
You just said a
keyword, the kingdom
00:30:45.17\00:30:47.44
'cause there is no
kingdom without a law.
00:30:47.48\00:30:49.14
That's right.
00:30:49.18\00:30:50.51
And so now let's
bring this full measured
00:30:50.55\00:30:51.95
'cause this is powerful here
00:30:51.98\00:30:53.31
when I think of
it in these terms.
00:30:53.35\00:30:55.62
God has a
kingdom. He has a home.
00:30:55.65\00:30:58.35
And He's went to
prepare us a place.
00:30:58.39\00:31:00.26
Yes. Right.
00:31:00.29\00:31:01.62
But here's the thing.
00:31:01.66\00:31:02.99
If we're gonna
dwell in God's home,
00:31:03.02\00:31:05.03
we have to abide
by the King's rules.
00:31:05.06\00:31:08.66
And I don't like to
necessarily apply that,
00:31:08.70\00:31:10.90
you know, the concept of "rules"
00:31:10.93\00:31:12.37
to the Ten Commandments.
00:31:12.40\00:31:13.74
But nonetheless,
they're the 10 freedoms.
00:31:13.77\00:31:15.40
In God's kingdom, you
have the freedom from sin.
00:31:15.44\00:31:17.54
That's right.
00:31:17.57\00:31:18.91
There's no sin that
dwells in God's kingdom.
00:31:18.94\00:31:20.54
And so that law,
what's the significance
00:31:20.58\00:31:22.64
of God's holy law?
00:31:22.68\00:31:24.15
On that law, in that
law is His character.
00:31:24.18\00:31:27.55
His divine moral
character that when we dwell
00:31:27.58\00:31:30.69
in His presence as in His home.
00:31:30.72\00:31:33.19
He's only going to allow people
00:31:33.22\00:31:34.96
to come into His
home that will abide
00:31:34.99\00:31:36.96
by the government of heaven,
the laws that government have.
00:31:36.99\00:31:40.03
Exactly.
Absolutely, now check this out.
00:31:40.06\00:31:42.20
This is powerful.
00:31:42.23\00:31:43.57
But 'cause I don't have
a lot of time to show this.
00:31:43.60\00:31:44.93
But I got to just at least
reference it really quickly.
00:31:44.97\00:31:47.50
We're in the throne room
00:31:47.54\00:31:49.24
because the Most
Holy Place brings us
00:31:49.27\00:31:50.91
into the heavenly
throne room of God.
00:31:50.94\00:31:53.31
And so we're talking
about the law of God here.
00:31:53.34\00:31:55.74
And we know that
00:31:55.78\00:31:57.11
within the
heavenly Most Holy Place,
00:31:57.15\00:31:59.25
that throne room, we know
that the law of God was there.
00:31:59.28\00:32:01.92
But I'm gonna take
this a step further.
00:32:01.95\00:32:03.28
When God was
giving the law to Moses,
00:32:03.32\00:32:04.82
check this out.
00:32:04.85\00:32:06.19
I'm gonna reference
Exodus 24:9 through 12.
00:32:06.22\00:32:09.42
If you have time, go
read Exodus 24:9 through 12.
00:32:09.46\00:32:14.00
'cause what is
happening in this scene here,
00:32:14.03\00:32:15.96
Moses and the children of Israel
00:32:16.00\00:32:17.77
have heard God verbally speak
00:32:17.80\00:32:19.47
the Ten
Commandments in Exodus 20.
00:32:19.50\00:32:21.74
But by the time you
get to the 24th chapter,
00:32:21.77\00:32:23.74
now God has called 70
of the elders of Israel
00:32:23.77\00:32:26.54
and Moses up the
mountain, of Mount Sinai.
00:32:26.57\00:32:29.41
And then they see there.
00:32:29.44\00:32:30.78
They look up and
see the God of Israel.
00:32:30.81\00:32:32.65
And protruding from
his feet, the Bible says,
00:32:32.68\00:32:34.88
was a beautiful paved
work of sapphire stone like,
00:32:34.92\00:32:38.62
and the Bible says
00:32:38.65\00:32:39.99
like the very
heavens in its clarity.
00:32:40.02\00:32:41.36
That's right.
00:32:41.39\00:32:42.72
Now what's amazing here
00:32:42.76\00:32:44.09
is if you go
read this verse here,
00:32:44.13\00:32:45.46
notice what the God of Israel,
notice what God tells Moses.
00:32:45.49\00:32:47.30
And this is verse 12.
00:32:47.33\00:32:48.66
He says, "Come up to me in
the mountain, and be there,
00:32:48.70\00:32:50.93
and I will give
you tables of..."
00:32:50.97\00:32:53.07
Now in your Bible it's gonna say
00:32:53.10\00:32:54.44
"tables of stone" but
in the original Hebrew,
00:32:54.47\00:32:57.91
it's "tables of the stone."
00:32:57.94\00:33:00.78
Which stone? The foundation.
00:33:00.81\00:33:02.31
The sapphire stone that
was coming from His feet.
00:33:02.34\00:33:04.38
Now you say, "Ryan,
what significance is that?"
00:33:04.41\00:33:06.48
When you go to Ezekiel 1:26,
and I'm making reference here.
00:33:06.51\00:33:10.35
Ezekiel 1:26 and Ezekiel 10:1.
00:33:10.39\00:33:13.56
Ezekiel was given a
vision of the Most Holy Place,
00:33:13.59\00:33:16.79
the heavenly throne room of God.
00:33:16.83\00:33:18.16
And guess what?
00:33:18.19\00:33:19.53
He sees God
seated on His throne.
00:33:19.56\00:33:21.06
And what is His throne
made of? Sapphire stone.
00:33:21.10\00:33:24.13
Wow.
00:33:24.17\00:33:25.50
And so what we're seeing here
00:33:25.53\00:33:26.87
is within this
Ark of the Covenant,
00:33:26.90\00:33:29.20
as we're going into
the Most Holy Place.
00:33:29.24\00:33:31.17
What God is communicating
by this is He's saying, "Look,
00:33:31.21\00:33:33.91
this is not just
some set of rules.
00:33:33.94\00:33:35.94
This is not just some, you know,
00:33:35.98\00:33:37.31
thou shalt not and thou shalt
00:33:37.35\00:33:38.78
and, you know, do
this and do that."
00:33:38.81\00:33:40.32
Or else, this
is the Lord saying,
00:33:40.35\00:33:41.98
"I want you in My kingdom.
00:33:42.02\00:33:43.49
But let me clearly
communicate this to you.
00:33:43.52\00:33:45.52
My kingdom is
foundationed on My character.
00:33:45.55\00:33:48.86
And my character is in my law.
00:33:48.89\00:33:51.16
And when I gave Moses
that first copy of the stones,
00:33:51.19\00:33:54.76
I etched it from the
very stone of My throne
00:33:54.80\00:33:59.23
to communicate the
importance of this law."
00:33:59.27\00:34:01.44
Not that it saves
you, because you are saved,
00:34:01.47\00:34:05.21
you want to be in line
with the character of the Lord.
00:34:05.24\00:34:08.84
And so God's got to raise up
the people in these last days.
00:34:08.88\00:34:10.71
Oh, absolutely.
00:34:10.75\00:34:12.08
Who's gonna preach
this message to the world.
00:34:12.11\00:34:13.45
Who's gonna let
the world know that
00:34:13.48\00:34:14.82
while we're not
saved by the commandments.
00:34:14.85\00:34:16.99
The commandments are
the laws that govern heaven.
00:34:17.02\00:34:19.42
And if we're gonna be there,
00:34:19.45\00:34:20.79
we have to have God's
character replicated in us.
00:34:20.82\00:34:22.62
That's right.
00:34:22.66\00:34:23.99
And the only reason we
fight the Ten Commandments
00:34:24.03\00:34:26.96
is because we are so intrigued
by the deceptions of the devil.
00:34:27.00\00:34:31.33
And so, you know,
00:34:31.37\00:34:32.73
when we look at
the Ten Commandments,
00:34:32.77\00:34:34.10
we say, "Ah, you know,
00:34:34.14\00:34:35.97
thou shalt not,
thou shalt, what?
00:34:36.00\00:34:37.34
What? You know, wait a minute."
00:34:37.37\00:34:38.71
'cause our
lifestyle doesn't live up to.
00:34:38.74\00:34:40.84
But that's what God is
doing. He's calling us up.
00:34:40.88\00:34:43.28
I think it's very
important that we mentioned that
00:34:43.31\00:34:45.81
the seat covering the
law is the seat of mercy.
00:34:45.85\00:34:50.05
It's a mercy seat.
00:34:50.09\00:34:51.79
Praise God,
because what is the penalty
00:34:51.82\00:34:54.39
of breaking that law?
00:34:54.42\00:34:55.92
Death. Death.
00:34:55.96\00:34:57.69
We may not see it
immediately in our lifetime
00:34:57.73\00:35:00.90
right now but we will see it.
00:35:00.93\00:35:02.70
That's right. And
it's for all of us.
00:35:02.73\00:35:04.70
Anyone that's ever been born
00:35:04.73\00:35:06.07
on this planet
will receive death
00:35:06.10\00:35:07.94
if they live not up to that law.
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.31
But then there's mercy.
00:35:10.34\00:35:11.67
God says, "I'm giving you mercy.
00:35:11.71\00:35:14.14
I'm giving you
grace. I love you so much."
00:35:14.18\00:35:16.48
And Jesus has paid the
penalty. That's right. Amen.
00:35:16.51\00:35:19.51
If you just want
it, if you accept it.
00:35:19.55\00:35:22.28
By His stripes,
you will be healed
00:35:22.32\00:35:24.72
from the sin of
breaking that law.
00:35:24.75\00:35:27.06
How beautiful can you get?
00:35:27.09\00:35:28.96
Not only is that His law,
00:35:28.99\00:35:30.73
it's a foundation
of His government,
00:35:30.76\00:35:32.69
it's a seat of His throne.
00:35:32.73\00:35:34.30
That's right, yeah.
00:35:34.33\00:35:36.26
But He's willing to pay
our penalty to bring us back
00:35:36.30\00:35:41.04
to where He wants us to
be to repopulate heaven.
00:35:41.07\00:35:43.91
Amen. The
restitution of all things.
00:35:43.94\00:35:45.84
Restore the
angels that fell. Yeah.
00:35:45.87\00:35:48.48
Restore all the angels.
00:35:48.51\00:35:49.84
We don't know
how many angels fell.
00:35:49.88\00:35:51.21
Restore the angels.
00:35:51.25\00:35:52.58
You have that mercy
seat that you've mentioned.
00:35:52.61\00:35:53.95
And I always like I
praised God for mercy and grace.
00:35:53.98\00:35:57.09
But that mercy
seat that was on there
00:35:57.12\00:35:59.02
that cover the
ark which is, what,
00:35:59.05\00:36:00.86
maybe four feet four
inches or so about 2.7 high.
00:36:00.89\00:36:06.46
But, you know, this mercy seat
00:36:06.49\00:36:08.43
was made out of one
solid piece of gold.
00:36:08.46\00:36:12.33
That's right. You
know, God is solid.
00:36:12.37\00:36:14.80
His foundation is solid.
He's got a firm foundation.
00:36:14.84\00:36:18.24
Everything has a meaning.
00:36:18.27\00:36:19.67
Everything fits on there
00:36:19.71\00:36:21.04
and then you say the mercy seat,
00:36:21.08\00:36:22.54
you know. It
represents God's mercy.
00:36:22.58\00:36:24.71
It represents His merits,
00:36:24.75\00:36:26.82
that He is
willing to pass on to us.
00:36:26.85\00:36:28.18
I'm thankful for that.
God's glory rested above what?
00:36:28.22\00:36:31.89
The mercy seat
signifying that is the throne.
00:36:31.92\00:36:34.89
That's right. See
that is His government.
00:36:34.92\00:36:36.86
Where does He sit?
00:36:36.89\00:36:38.23
Where does His
government sit on?
00:36:38.26\00:36:39.59
What we've been talking about.
On the Ten Commandment law.
00:36:39.63\00:36:42.00
Everything is
based upon that. Amen.
00:36:42.03\00:36:45.47
To me the way that
I'm looking at this,
00:36:45.50\00:36:47.04
trying to get that, I
mean, I'm learning so much.
00:36:47.07\00:36:48.90
This is
fantastic. God has a plan.
00:36:48.94\00:36:51.94
He's always had a plan. Amen.
00:36:51.97\00:36:54.24
Right.
00:36:54.28\00:36:55.61
And the idea of plan went askew,
00:36:55.64\00:36:59.65
but He still had a plan.
00:36:59.68\00:37:01.02
Yes.
00:37:01.05\00:37:02.38
And then, and it's
a progressive plan.
00:37:02.42\00:37:06.15
Okay, and so as we look
at the big plan starting
00:37:06.19\00:37:09.62
with Genesis going
through Revelation,
00:37:09.66\00:37:11.86
we're seeing how it progresses.
00:37:11.89\00:37:14.26
And all the
different generations
00:37:14.30\00:37:16.87
has a place to play in
order to work all this out.
00:37:16.90\00:37:21.20
So we had to go
through this because otherwise
00:37:21.24\00:37:24.44
He's a God of
confusion and He's not.
00:37:24.47\00:37:27.11
So we had to
come back down here.
00:37:27.14\00:37:29.24
And the way that
I'm looking at this,
00:37:29.28\00:37:31.05
we just happened to be
00:37:31.08\00:37:32.41
born during part
of this plan that...
00:37:32.45\00:37:35.55
Yes.
00:37:35.58\00:37:36.92
You're getting
into it now, Brother?
00:37:36.95\00:37:38.65
No, and that... We are part...
00:37:38.69\00:37:43.22
We just happened to be born.
Can you be part of the remnant?
00:37:43.26\00:37:46.13
Yes, you can. Amen.
00:37:46.16\00:37:47.50
Come on. That's right.
00:37:47.53\00:37:48.86
And because it's
part of His plan.
00:37:48.90\00:37:50.83
Now how do we know if
we're part of His plan?
00:37:50.87\00:37:53.57
Well, there is the Holy
Spirit, that's our best friend
00:37:53.60\00:37:56.87
that's sitting there and
that woos us and directs us
00:37:56.91\00:38:00.71
and to be part of the plan.
00:38:00.74\00:38:04.71
And so here we are sitting
at the table taking something
00:38:04.75\00:38:08.02
that man broke.
00:38:08.05\00:38:11.45
And is trying to
set here the best we can
00:38:11.49\00:38:13.86
in our little bitty tiny
space to contribute positively.
00:38:13.89\00:38:17.96
So at the time in 1800,
00:38:17.99\00:38:21.20
they had what
they had to work with.
00:38:21.23\00:38:23.63
In 1700 and 1600.
00:38:23.67\00:38:26.13
By the year 2000, we progressed.
00:38:26.17\00:38:29.47
That's right. Oh, wow.
00:38:29.50\00:38:30.84
And we have the opportunity.
We all have the opportunity.
00:38:30.87\00:38:33.84
That's right.
00:38:33.88\00:38:35.21
The knowledge that
is available to us.
00:38:35.24\00:38:37.25
I admit when you said, you know,
00:38:37.28\00:38:39.08
to be a part of this plan,
00:38:39.11\00:38:40.48
to be a part of
this sanctuary message
00:38:40.52\00:38:43.69
I've read before
we were on the hour.
00:38:43.72\00:38:45.25
This Baptist scholar, John Gill.
00:38:45.29\00:38:48.99
John is an awesome
name in scripture, isn't it?
00:38:49.02\00:38:51.69
A lot of the people that
were restorers of this were
00:38:51.73\00:38:54.03
John, John, John, John.
00:38:54.06\00:38:55.86
But this is what he
wrote from his commentary
00:38:55.90\00:39:00.00
on Daniel 8:14.
00:39:00.04\00:39:01.87
And this was prior
00:39:01.90\00:39:03.74
to the 2300
days being fulfilled.
00:39:03.77\00:39:07.81
But listen to what he said.
00:39:07.84\00:39:09.48
'cause a lot of people say,
00:39:09.51\00:39:10.85
"Oh, that's an
Adventist doctrine."
00:39:10.88\00:39:12.28
This is a
Baptist. This is a Baptist.
00:39:12.31\00:39:15.15
These 2300 days, he
was studying the 2300 day
00:39:15.18\00:39:18.49
prophecy out of scripture.
00:39:18.52\00:39:19.85
Says, these 2300
days may be considered as
00:39:19.89\00:39:23.12
so many years
which will bring it down
00:39:23.16\00:39:25.49
to the end of
the six millenniums.
00:39:25.53\00:39:27.60
He was doing his math
00:39:27.63\00:39:29.16
better than most of us could do,
00:39:29.20\00:39:30.73
better than I
probably could've done.
00:39:30.77\00:39:32.40
Or thereabout,
when it may be hoped.
00:39:32.43\00:39:35.64
See he had an awareness
of what the devil had done.
00:39:35.67\00:39:38.47
When it maybe hoped that
there will be a new phase
00:39:38.51\00:39:41.14
of things upon the
sanctuary and the church of God,
00:39:41.18\00:39:45.35
and the cleansing of
it from all corruption
00:39:45.38\00:39:49.42
in doctrine.
00:39:49.45\00:39:50.85
That's what the devil did.
00:39:50.89\00:39:52.22
He came in and he
corrupted all God's doctrine
00:39:52.25\00:39:55.12
through the sanctuary.
00:39:55.16\00:39:56.49
Discipline,
worship, and conversation.
00:39:56.52\00:39:58.89
Restitution of all things.
00:39:58.93\00:40:02.06
That is so beautiful.
00:40:02.10\00:40:03.83
And there's just so
many gems out there.
00:40:03.87\00:40:06.13
It's just that most of the times
00:40:06.17\00:40:07.54
we don't go out studying.
00:40:07.57\00:40:09.34
There's another thing I
wanted to point out in Ezekiel
00:40:09.37\00:40:13.31
that I thought
was very interesting.
00:40:13.34\00:40:16.51
Is this it?
00:40:16.54\00:40:18.51
Well, no, I don't think so.
00:40:18.55\00:40:21.02
But go ahead.
00:40:21.05\00:40:22.38
I just wanna mention, you
know, 'cause you brought out
00:40:22.42\00:40:23.85
something really
good, Brother JD.
00:40:23.89\00:40:25.29
And that's the fact that,
00:40:25.32\00:40:26.82
you know, you mentioned
00:40:26.86\00:40:28.19
we just happened to
be here during this time.
00:40:28.22\00:40:30.26
And I wanna clarify,
00:40:30.29\00:40:32.39
and I believe I
knew you meant by that,
00:40:32.43\00:40:34.43
you know, God makes no mistakes.
00:40:34.46\00:40:36.60
And I believe it.
00:40:36.63\00:40:37.97
Each and every person
that is alive during this time.
00:40:38.00\00:40:40.87
We're not here by coincidence
or just some random selection.
00:40:40.90\00:40:44.84
God has raised us up as
a people in these last days
00:40:44.87\00:40:48.28
to vindicate His
name, His character.
00:40:48.31\00:40:50.81
Now you ask, "What's the purpose
00:40:50.85\00:40:52.81
of Christians in the last days?"
00:40:52.85\00:40:54.35
Let me read you
a couple of quotes.
00:40:54.38\00:40:55.72
They're fantastic.
00:40:55.75\00:40:57.09
This comes from Counsels
to the Church, page 240.
00:40:57.12\00:41:00.06
Listen to these powerful words.
00:41:00.09\00:41:02.16
She says, "God
has a distinct people,
00:41:02.19\00:41:04.33
a church on
earth, second to none,
00:41:04.36\00:41:07.56
but superior to
all in their facilities
00:41:07.60\00:41:10.17
to teach the truth, notice,
00:41:10.20\00:41:11.83
to vindicate the law of God.
00:41:11.87\00:41:14.37
God has divinely
appointed agencies,
00:41:14.40\00:41:16.27
men and women He is leading,
00:41:16.30\00:41:17.97
who have borne the
heat and burden of the day,
00:41:18.01\00:41:20.24
who are cooperating with
heavenly instrumentalities
00:41:20.28\00:41:23.04
to advance the kingdom
of Christ in our world."
00:41:23.08\00:41:26.55
And then she gives this counsel.
00:41:26.58\00:41:28.15
"Let all unite with
these chosen agents,
00:41:28.18\00:41:30.82
and be found at last among those
00:41:30.85\00:41:32.99
who have the
patience of the saints,
00:41:33.02\00:41:34.79
who keep the
commandments of God,
00:41:34.82\00:41:36.32
and have the faith of Jesus."
00:41:36.36\00:41:37.83
That's the third angel's...
00:41:37.86\00:41:39.19
Notice the first
angel's message starts with it
00:41:39.23\00:41:41.43
and then God ends
the third angel's message
00:41:41.46\00:41:43.16
by saying, "Hey, you know what?
00:41:43.20\00:41:44.53
Here's the
patience of my people,
00:41:44.57\00:41:46.37
the saints of the Lord
00:41:46.40\00:41:47.74
who will keep the
commandments of God
00:41:47.77\00:41:49.30
and have the testimony."
00:41:49.34\00:41:50.67
And then on page
345 of that same book,
00:41:50.71\00:41:52.67
Counsels to the Church,
00:41:52.71\00:41:54.04
she ties it together here.
00:41:54.08\00:41:55.41
Notice here.
00:41:55.44\00:41:56.78
"Just before us in
the closing struggle
00:41:56.81\00:41:58.15
of the great controversy
00:41:58.18\00:41:59.51
when, with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
00:41:59.55\00:42:02.35
and with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness.
00:42:02.38\00:42:04.85
Satan is to
work to misrepresent,
00:42:04.89\00:42:07.02
notice, the character of God,
00:42:07.06\00:42:09.32
that he may seduce
if it were possible,
00:42:09.36\00:42:11.66
even the elect."
00:42:11.69\00:42:13.03
And she says this, powerful.
00:42:13.06\00:42:14.73
"If there was ever a people
00:42:14.76\00:42:16.33
in need of constantly
increasing light from heaven,
00:42:16.36\00:42:18.97
it is that people,
in this time of peril,
00:42:19.00\00:42:22.07
God has called to be
00:42:22.10\00:42:23.61
the depositaries of His holy law
00:42:23.64\00:42:26.24
and to vindicate His
character before the world.
00:42:26.27\00:42:29.61
Those to whom He has
committed a trust so sacred
00:42:29.64\00:42:33.15
must be spiritualized,
elevated, vitalized,
00:42:33.18\00:42:35.65
by the truths they
profess to believe."
00:42:35.68\00:42:37.22
That is powerful.
It is so powerful.
00:42:37.25\00:42:38.59
That caps it all
together right there.
00:42:38.62\00:42:39.95
Yes, it is.
00:42:39.99\00:42:41.32
And the beautiful thing is
00:42:41.36\00:42:42.69
it's not hitting
someone over the head.
00:42:42.72\00:42:44.66
Jesus said, "Love
your neighbors as yourself.
00:42:44.69\00:42:47.16
And love the, you
know, God of heaven."
00:42:47.20\00:42:49.53
And He says, "On
these two, hang on the law."
00:42:49.56\00:42:51.40
Right. Yes.
00:42:51.43\00:42:52.77
And so many
people say, "Oh, see God.
00:42:52.80\00:42:54.14
Jesus gave us a different law."
00:42:54.17\00:42:55.50
No.
00:42:55.54\00:42:56.87
He was just telling us that
it's all encapsulated by love.
00:42:56.91\00:43:00.74
And a while ago I pointed
out about the mercy seat,
00:43:00.78\00:43:03.04
about Christ coming down.
00:43:03.08\00:43:05.95
The God of heaven, our Creator
actually paying a penalty,
00:43:05.98\00:43:10.15
His own penalty for our sins.
00:43:10.19\00:43:13.59
And it was because it
was all encapsulated by love.
00:43:13.62\00:43:17.16
That's right.
00:43:17.19\00:43:18.53
And so when we present this law,
00:43:18.56\00:43:19.93
I think that's
where we've gone wrong
00:43:19.96\00:43:21.30
as a people many times,
00:43:21.33\00:43:23.03
as it's not been done in love.
00:43:23.06\00:43:25.17
Yeah, there's
something that came in my mind.
00:43:25.20\00:43:26.94
It's kind of not
to get off subject
00:43:26.97\00:43:28.47
but when we think about
the sanctuary that Moses built,
00:43:28.50\00:43:31.11
what was it covered in?
00:43:31.14\00:43:33.14
It covered in
badger skins, right?
00:43:33.17\00:43:34.58
Skins. That's right.
00:43:34.61\00:43:36.14
What are we made of here?
00:43:36.18\00:43:37.75
Skin.
00:43:37.78\00:43:39.11
I'll just read this
in Jeremiah 31 to 34.
00:43:39.15\00:43:42.55
Says, "Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord,
00:43:42.58\00:43:44.05
that I'll make a new covenant
with the house of Israel,
00:43:44.09\00:43:45.79
and with the house of Judah,
not according to the covenant
00:43:45.82\00:43:47.62
that I made with their fathers
00:43:47.66\00:43:49.39
in the day that I
took them by the hand
00:43:49.42\00:43:50.86
to bring them out
of the land of Egypt,
00:43:50.89\00:43:52.49
which my covenant they brake,
00:43:52.53\00:43:54.13
although I was an husband
unto them, saith the Lord."
00:43:54.16\00:43:55.80
Here it is, verse 33.
00:43:55.83\00:43:57.17
"But this shall be the covenant
00:43:57.20\00:43:58.53
that I will make
with the house of Israel,
00:43:58.57\00:43:59.90
after those
days, saith the Lord,
00:43:59.93\00:44:01.27
I'll put my law in
their inward parts,
00:44:01.30\00:44:03.77
and write it in their
hearts, and I will be their God,
00:44:03.81\00:44:06.84
and they shall be My people."
00:44:06.88\00:44:08.21
So that skin
that's over the sanctuary.
00:44:08.24\00:44:11.08
Actually we have skin.
00:44:11.11\00:44:12.58
I never thought of it that way.
00:44:12.61\00:44:14.12
And you think
about it's in here.
00:44:14.15\00:44:16.99
The law is now in here,
it's in our human parts.
00:44:17.02\00:44:19.29
That's right. Let's go quick.
00:44:19.32\00:44:20.66
We got three minutes or so left.
00:44:20.69\00:44:22.02
I found something very important
00:44:22.06\00:44:24.13
I thought in
the Most Holy Place,
00:44:24.16\00:44:25.76
there has to be an experience.
00:44:25.79\00:44:27.30
We need experience
in Most Holy Place.
00:44:27.33\00:44:28.86
I'm gonna give a
couple of just valiant do,
00:44:28.90\00:44:30.70
just read them.
00:44:30.73\00:44:32.07
It says, "We must
follow Christ by faith
00:44:32.10\00:44:33.90
in the work of atonement
to receive its benefits."
00:44:33.94\00:44:36.81
We talked about
that to begin with.
00:44:36.84\00:44:38.47
Jesus entered
the Most Holy Place
00:44:38.51\00:44:41.48
foreshadowed in type
in the earthly sanctuary.
00:44:41.51\00:44:44.35
So He stayed there
in earthly sanctuary.
00:44:44.38\00:44:47.02
You know exactly
where Christ is at
00:44:47.05\00:44:48.38
and what He is doing.
00:44:48.42\00:44:49.75
He went into the Most Holy Place
00:44:49.78\00:44:51.12
to cleanse it of what?
00:44:51.15\00:44:52.49
You mentioned in
the beginning. Of sin.
00:44:52.52\00:44:54.22
That's his last
stop for work for mankind
00:44:54.26\00:44:57.33
when you keep that in our mind.
00:44:57.36\00:44:58.73
Christ ministers
in behalf of sinners.
00:44:58.76\00:45:01.00
He's there because I'm a sinner
and I'm in need of a savior.
00:45:01.03\00:45:04.93
I need His grace.
00:45:04.97\00:45:06.30
And He said, "I'm there for you,
00:45:06.33\00:45:07.67
I'm gonna be
pleading your case."
00:45:07.70\00:45:09.50
He pleads his
case with His blood.
00:45:09.54\00:45:11.41
Praise God for that.
00:45:11.44\00:45:13.14
Before the Father,
00:45:13.17\00:45:14.51
and before the Ark
of the Covenant, why?
00:45:14.54\00:45:17.11
Because we've
broken the law of God.
00:45:17.15\00:45:19.08
Jesus, heavenly sanctuary
still pleading His blood
00:45:19.11\00:45:22.52
because of broken law.
00:45:22.55\00:45:24.45
Of course, we find
the judgment in Daniel 7,
00:45:24.49\00:45:26.76
you know, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14,
00:45:26.79\00:45:29.36
Daniel 8:14.
00:45:29.39\00:45:30.73
And then onward then Daniel 9
00:45:30.76\00:45:32.49
come 2300 day prophecy.
00:45:32.53\00:45:34.43
So the judgment hour 1844,
00:45:34.46\00:45:36.43
you mentioned the first
angel's message was given.
00:45:36.46\00:45:38.60
And the Christ in
the Most Holy Place,
00:45:38.63\00:45:40.04
what is He doing?
00:45:40.07\00:45:41.40
Forgiveness of sin,
talking about character work,
00:45:41.44\00:45:43.67
and the blotting
out forever of sin
00:45:43.71\00:45:46.41
because of what?
00:45:46.44\00:45:47.84
Sins are symbolically stored
00:45:47.88\00:45:49.44
until what comes to the
time of the end of judgment,
00:45:49.48\00:45:51.91
our name comes up and
then the blotting out.
00:45:51.95\00:45:53.68
I'm looking
forward to that. Amen.
00:45:53.72\00:45:55.48
Special truth that comes
out of this sanctuary study
00:45:55.52\00:45:57.85
certainly is light, you know,
00:45:57.89\00:45:59.35
light on the seventh day Sabbath
00:45:59.39\00:46:01.19
is what we were
trying to bring in here
00:46:01.22\00:46:03.06
this morning to be restored
00:46:03.09\00:46:04.79
all Ten
Commandments of God's law.
00:46:04.83\00:46:07.06
And we realize the
big Sabbath question
00:46:07.10\00:46:10.03
that test is not
to what, after 1844.
00:46:10.07\00:46:13.87
So the big test is there
00:46:13.90\00:46:15.24
because God's raised the people
who understand this message
00:46:15.27\00:46:17.21
and we wanna give this message
00:46:17.24\00:46:18.57
and bring it to the
world before Jesus comes.
00:46:18.61\00:46:21.41
Got one minute left.
00:46:21.44\00:46:22.78
Somebody got just a
quick thought or two.
00:46:22.81\00:46:24.15
All this is part
of His original plan.
00:46:24.18\00:46:25.81
You know, this is
part of it, you know.
00:46:25.85\00:46:28.42
So you can't just sit here...
00:46:28.45\00:46:29.95
If the puzzle has 10
parts, you can't just say
00:46:29.98\00:46:32.85
you'd have a finished
puzzle with nine parts.
00:46:32.89\00:46:35.66
I think, you know,
00:46:35.69\00:46:37.03
when Christ finishes
His work in the Most Holy,
00:46:37.06\00:46:39.59
He stands up and
He says, "It is done."
00:46:39.63\00:46:42.26
And I think it's for up to us
00:46:42.30\00:46:44.63
which side we're gonna be on
00:46:44.67\00:46:46.00
because once it is
done, probation has closed.
00:46:46.03\00:46:48.77
You know, let those
00:46:48.80\00:46:50.14
who are righteous
be righteous still,
00:46:50.17\00:46:51.51
those who are
filthy be filthy still.
00:46:51.54\00:46:54.11
God will never
force anyone to love Him.
00:46:54.14\00:46:57.45
But He's calling
each and every one of you
00:46:57.48\00:46:59.35
to love Him.
00:46:59.38\00:47:00.72
And it's your choice
which side you will be on.
00:47:00.75\00:47:02.98
And third angel's
message is going to do its work.
00:47:03.02\00:47:05.55
That's right.
00:47:05.59\00:47:06.92
Right, and we're
gonna be tested on
00:47:06.96\00:47:08.29
and we wanna be found
faithful and know what you do.
00:47:08.32\00:47:10.43
And that's why we've been
studying this Word of God.
00:47:10.46\00:47:12.09
We pray this
had been a blessing.
00:47:12.13\00:47:13.96
I wanna just thank
each and every one of you.
00:47:14.00\00:47:15.83
We only have 15 seconds left.
00:47:15.86\00:47:17.30
So we're gonna
go out with prayer.
00:47:17.33\00:47:19.43
And if we keep going
we just go ahead and pray.
00:47:19.47\00:47:21.30
You pray along with us.
00:47:21.34\00:47:22.67
Thank you for
joining us. We love you.
00:47:22.70\00:47:24.04
We appreciate you to
study and if you have questions,
00:47:24.07\00:47:25.74
be sure and give us call.
00:47:25.77\00:47:27.11
Let's pray.
Brother Ryan, will you?
00:47:27.14\00:47:28.48
